'Coolie' Makers Change The Title In Hindi After Trolling

Chennai, June 27 - Superstar Rajinikanth's action drama Coolie with director Lokesh Kanagaraj is easily among the most-anticipated films of the year. It is, in fact, one of the rare Tamil films which is carrying a decent buzz in Hindi markets, thanks to the presence of superstar Aamir Khan. ## The title of the movie as Coolie was gaining a lot of attantion in Hindi market, but, in a strange move, the makers recently renamed the film as Majdoor, in a hope to cater a large section of the audience in North India. This movie, however, backfired as it sparked criticism and trolling from northern audiences. ## Many people felt that the Majdoor title lacks the mass appeal that the original title has. People even started trolling the makers for coming up with such a title, which gave the impression of a normal dubbed South Indian movie and not treating it as a proper Pan India film despite the huge potential. ## The criticism and trolling worked as a much-needed feedback for the makers who have now changed the Hindi version's title to Coolie The Powerhouse. It is said that the makers couldn't use the title as Coolie in Hindi as it is also the title of Amitabh Bachchan's iconic film. ## Coolie is produced by Sun Pictures, and it also stars Nagarjuna, Aamir Khan, Upendra, Sathyaraj, Shruti Hassan, and Soubin Shahir in key roles. The film is scheduled to hit the big screens on August 14 in Tamil, Telugu, Hindi, Malayalam, and Kannada. ## Stay tuned...

Kamal Haasan's 'Thug Life' Theatrical Window Shortened After Poor Box Office Result; OTT Price Reduced

Chennai, June 26 - The legendary combo of actor Kamal Haasan and director Mani Ratnam reunited after 4 decades for a gangster action drama film Thug Life. It is among the most anticipated Tamil movies of the year; however, what followed next shocked the trade. ## Released on June 5, the film met with poor reception from critics and the audience. This resulted in a shocking box office performance of the film as it finished below 100 crores gross globally, turning into one of the biggest disasters of the year. ## Before the release of the film, the makers showed immense confidence in it and even publicly announced that it would be released on an OTT platform only after 8 weeks of theatrical release, breaking out from the usual norm of a 4-week window that exists in the Tamil Film Industry. ## The 8-week theatrical window announcement secured the movie's multiplex release in the Hindi version, becoming one of the first major Tamil movies to have a multiplex release in Hindi in recent times. However, the poor performance of the film led the makers to change their plans. ## According to the report by Pinkvilla, the makers have shortened the theatrical window of the movie to just 4 weeks to avoid further losses. The negotiations were made after Netflix, which is the official streaming partner of the movie, decided to reduce the OTT price of Thug Life. ## The movie was initially valued at 130 crore for OTT release, but the poor box office performance caused damage to this. It is said that Netflix was looking to renegotiate the price at 90 crore, but both parties eventually settled down at 110 crore for the digital rights, with a reduced OTT window of 4 weeks, as per Pinkvilla. ## Meanwhile, the reduced theatrical window has resulted in a breach of contract between the producers of Thug Life with the distributor and the national multiplex chains in North India. The report further stated that the Multiplex Chains have imposed a fine of 25 lakh on the producers. ## Stay tuned...

Superstar Rajinikanth's 'Coolie' Needs To Become Second Biggest Tamil Grosser To Breakeven?

Chennai, June 26 - Superstar Rajinikanth's highly anticipated action drama Coolie, directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, seems to have an uphill task in front of it. The film might need to emerge as the second biggest grosser for the veteran actor, just to become a box office success. ## Coolie is carrying huge expectations of delivering at the box office. The movie is being eyed as the one which has the potential to become the first Tamil movie to enter the 1000 crores club, and hence, it is getting crazy offers for theatrical distribution across the globe. ## Recently, it was revealed that the overseas business of Coolie was locked in the range of 80-85 crores, which is a record for a Tamil title. For Telugu states, the makers have reportedly been offered a huge price of around 45 crores, which is said to be the highest for a dubbed title in recent times. ## The theatrical business of the film for the home market, Tamil Nadu, is expected to be locked in the range of 110 crores, which is again a record. The presence of superstar Aamir Khan has kept the film in talks in the Hindi market as the makers are reportedly expecting 40-50 crores business for North India. ## The overall theatrical business of Coolie will reportedly be in the range of 300 crores, which means the movie will need to gross over 600 crores worldwide in order to emerge as a box office success. It will mostly need to outgross Rajinikanth's Jailer (605 crores gross), which is currently the third highest-grossing Tamil movie of all time, behind Thalapathy Vijay's Leo (606 crores gross). ## While the theatrical business offers for Coolie are eye-popping, it might be a risky bet given the fact that it will have a direct clash with Hrithik Roshan and Jr. NTR's War 2 on August 14. If War 2 manages to get favourable reception, it can make a significant dent in Coolie's business, especially in Telugu and Hindi markets. ## Coolie is produced by Sun Pictures, and it also stars Nagarjuna, Upendra, Soubin Shahir, Sathyaraj, Shruti Haasan, Reba Monica John, Junior MGR, Monisha Blessy, and Kaali Venkat in key roles along with Aamir Khan in an extended cameo. ## Stay tuned...

Kamal Haasan's 'Thug Life' Gets One of The Lowest Ratings In The Opening Weekend

Chennai, June 7 - Indian cinema legends, actor Kamal Haasan and director Mani Ratnam reunited after 38 years for a gangster action drama film Thug Life, which hit the big screen on June 5. The reunion of the two was expected to script a blockbuster, but things have turned into a nightmare for the duo. ## Thug Life was a keenly awaited film, and it generated some hype with decent to good pre-sales. However, despite the big promises, everything has gone wrong for the film since its release, and it seems that the audience has outrightly rejected it. ## The word of mouth for the movie has been poor from the first show, which resulted in below than the expected opening, followed by a big drop on the second day as the total collection of the movie is around 50 crore gross after 2 days. ## Even though there is a holiday on Saturday and Sunday, the chances of a rebound for the movie are almost out of the equation. The audience reception is poor, as the current Google rating for the movie is under 3 out of 10, while IMDb ratings are below 5, which has made things worse and will continue to do so. ## The Google and IMDb ratings of Thug Life are among the lowest for the film in its opening weekend, and it is going down rapidly. There are chances the movie will likely finish under 100 crore gross collection at the worldwide box office. It might cross this cross, but the overall result has already been sealed, which is a disaster. ## The film is produced by Raaj Kamal Films International and Madras Talkies, and it also stars Silambarasan, Trisha Krishnan, Abhirami, Aishwarya Lekshmi, Ashok Selvan, Joju George, Nassar, Ali Fazal, Rohit Saraf, and Baburaj in key roles. ## Stay tuned...

Bengaluru, June 3 - Kamal Haasan's action drama Thug Life release has been stalled in Karnataka after the actor refused to apologise for his language remarks, which allegedly hurt the sentiments of Kannadigas. ## During the audio launch event of his film Thug Life, Kamal Haasan stated that the Kannada language was born out of the Tamil language. The actor's remarks led to a big controversy among the people of Karnataka and the Film Chamber, who threatened to stall the release of the film in the state if he didn't apologise. ## Haasan had refused to apologise and filed a petition in the Karnataka High Court seeking protection and to allow the film's release. The High Court, however, also orally advised Haasan to issue an apology for the remarks, as it hurt the sentiments of the people of Karnataka, according to Live Law. ## The actor filed a reply in the court, on which the court orally said, "There is no apology in it. You may be Kamal Haasan or anybody, but you cannot hurt the sentiments of the masses. The division of this country is on linguistic lines. A public figure cannot make such statements. What has happened because of it is unrest, disharmony. People of Karnataka only asked for an apology. Now you come here seeking protection". ## Haasan stated in his reply that he had "no malice" towards the Kannada language and proposed to have a dialogue with the Film Chamber. Meanwhile, the film slated to hit the theatres on June 05, won't be released in the State (for now). ## Stay tuned...

Rajinikanth's 'Coolie' Filming Wrapped; To Clash With 'War 2'?

Chennai, March 18 - One of the biggest films of the year, superstar Rajinikanth's action drama Coolie has completed the entire shoot, the makers announced on Monday (March 17) with a short video glimpse from the sets.## Directed by Lokesh Kanagraj, Coolie was shot in multiple locations over a period of 8 months. It kicked off in mid-July 2024 and wrapped up in mid-March 2025. The filmmaker maintained his efficacy in completing his film shoots in a planned manner without causing delays. ## As the filming is done, the real question now is when the film will hit the big screens. It was originally planned for a May 2025 release but it has been postponed from there. It has been reported by reliable media sources that Coolie may release on August 14, 2025, but there is a catch. ## Yash Raj Films' highly-anticipated spy action thriller War 2 is already scheduled for August 14 release in Hindi, Telugu, and Tamil. It stars Hrithik Roshan and Jr. NTR who are big stars in the Hindi and Telugu markets, and that is a big hurdle for Coolie makers to cross. ## It is said that the makers are discussing the release of Coolie with distributors and although they are looking for an August 2025 launch, it might shift to another date to avoid this unwanted clash. The release date is likely to be announced very soon with a teaser. ## Produced by Sun Pictures, the film stars Rajinikanth in the title role, alongside Nagarjuna, Upendra, Soubin Shahir, Sathyaraj, Shruti Haasan, Reba Monica John, Junior MGR and Monisha Blessy. Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan plays an important cameo and the fans are excited for the same in the Hindi belt.## It's a super wrap for #Coolie 🔥@rajinikanth @Dir_Lokesh @anirudhofficial @iamnagarjuna @nimmaupendra #SathyaRaj #SoubinShahir @shrutihaasan @hegdepooja @anbariv @girishganges @philoedit @Dir_Chandhru @PraveenRaja_Off pic.twitter.com/ulcecQKII1— Sun Pictures (@sunpictures) March 17, 2025 ## Stay tuned...

Director Lokesh Kanagaraj To Direct Another Film Before 'Kaithi 2'?

Chennai, March 14 - Director Lokesh Kanagaraj is one of the most in-demand Indian filmmakers because of his ability to connect with the masses through his films. His filmography, though it is just 6 films old, is full of blockbusters, and the future line-up promises to take things a notch higher.## Lokesh Kanagaraj has confirmed 2 films in the pipeline, including the currently on-floors Coolie starring superstar Rajinikanth. The second one is Karthi-fronted Kaithi 2 which is a part of Lokesh Cinematic Universe (LCU). However, Lokesh might direct another film before this blockbuster sequel. ## It is known to all that superstar Aamir Khan is playing a cameo role in Lokesh's Coolie and it was also reported earlier that the duo would team up for a full-fledged film. Now, as per the rumours in the media, Kaithi 2, which was supposed to be Loki's immediate next after Coolie, is set to be delayed. ## The rumours say that Lokesh might direct Aamir Khan after Rajinikanth-starrer as has been reported earlier. In his birthday post to Aamir, director Lokesh hinted at more collaboration with him though he didn't mention any of it directly. ## There isn't an official yet but if the rumours are true, then it is disappointing news for the LCU fans. However, at the same time, if the duo of Lokesh and Aamir join hands for a full-fledged feature film, then it will surely be the talk of the town and easily be one of the biggest collaborations between North and South.## Stay tuned...

The film, directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, reportedly has the cameo role of Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan so there is anticipation for it among the Hindi audiences as well. ## Meanwhile, according to the latest Tamil media reports, the teaser of Coolie is getting ready to be released this week. It is said that the makers will unveil an action-packed teaser of the film on director Lokesh's birthday on March 14, and the official announcement is expected in a day or two.## Coolie, produced by industry giant Sun Pictures, was initially scheduled to hit the screens in May or June this year but it has reportedly been postponed to August 14, 2025. There might be another postponement as Yash Raj Films' biggest War 2 is already scheduled on that date and in case of the clash, War 2 is most likely to dent Rajini-starrer in Telugu and Hindi due to the presence of superstar Jr. NTR and Hrithik Roshan.## Coolie is Rajinikanth's 171st movie as a lead actor and it also stars Nagarjuna, Upendra, Soubin Shahir, Sathyaraj, Shruti Haasan, Reba Monica John and Junior MGR.
